Trends in surface-water quality in Connecticut, 1969-88 Trends in surface-water quality in Connecticut, 1969-88

Surface-water-quality data from selected monitoring stations in Connecticut were analyzed for trend, using the Seasonal Kendall test, for water years 1969-88, 1975-88, and 1981-88. The number of constituents and stations evaluated varied with the different time periods. The 39 monitoring stations included 26 freshwater streams with associated discharge data, 7 tidally affected streams, 4...

Late Quaternary stratigraphy and depositional history of the Long Island Sound basin Late Quaternary stratigraphy and depositional history of the Long Island Sound basin

The stratigraphy of Late Quaternary geologic units beneath Long Island Sound (LIS) is interpreted from 3,500 km of high-resolution, seismic-reflection profiles supplemented by vibracore data. Knowledge gained from onshore regional geologic studies and previous offshore investigations is also incorporated in these interpretations. Glacial deposits overlie and nearly fill an Inner Lowland...

Hydrogeologic data from selected wells and test holes in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, 1972-80 Hydrogeologic data from selected wells and test holes in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, 1972-80

The population of Suffolk County, New York, an area of 922 square miles, has increased rapidly, from less than 200,000 in 1940 to about 1.3 million in 1978. Ground-water pumpage has increased from an average of 42 million gallons per day in 1950 to about 257 million gallons per day in 1978. To help supply the hydrologic information needed to anticipate and prevent shortages, this report...
